I would like to live on the cheese coast.
I’m quite fond of Deutshland myself
I already do
i recommend everyone learn to recognize colonization on a map. it’s a really great skill to have when you’re trying to figure out what the truth is in a heavily propagandized media environment
Surely it was the local natives who decided it should be called Lake Victoria? They were probably calling it that for hundreds of years before Europeans arrived.
signs of colonization on a map:
- static borders (humans intermingle naturally)
- unnatural borders (straight lines)
- pockets (as in on population is slowly surrounding and eleminating another population)
- as you pointed out, the names of stuff are bonkers
This gets more amazing the more I look at it, but why Duckstan?

Thanks for the explanation but I was more wondering what Iceland has to do with ducks.

Probably because of the common eider. I’m not sure what is its state in the wild, but Iceland makes up the majority of eiderdown harvests globally.
We need more pixels this is gold
Oh my God it’s incredible
You could have just kept Ireland as it is now
true, unfortunately…
The line through the middle of Sweden and Norway is not far off from separating the southern swedes and norweigns from the samí.
Some Northern Italians would thank you for separating them from the Southern ones
South parts were colonized by Ottoman Empire and other north Africans after Roman Empire collapse until crusades so for around 1000 years. That is way more than modern history of America.
The east side of Britain was colonized by the Vikings. “Big Wota” = the Danelaw + Scotland.
I like it. Nice straight lines.
The Mediterranean should actually be named after Haile I
I think the cheese coast border works pretty well
